Eligibility
Each State has its own laws about who may register and vote.

Note: All States require
that you be a United States citizen by birth or naturalization to register to
vote in federal and State elections. Federal law makes it illegal to falsely
claim US citizenship to register to vote in any federal, State or local election.
Also Note: You cannot be registered to vote in more than one place at a time.

Where can I register
to vote in my local town?Registration applications may be obtained from either the local election
official in your county or city, or through registration outreach programs sponsored
by such groups as the League of Women Voters. In addition, you can also register
to vote when applying for a drivers license or identity card at State
DMV or driver's licensing offices, State offices providing public assistance,
State offices providing State-funded programs for the disabled, and at armed
forces recruitment offices.

Many States also offer registration
opportunities at public libraries, post offices, unemployment offices, and at
public high schools and universities. Colleges, universities, and trade schools
participating in federal student loan programs also offer voter registration
applications to enrolled students prior to general elections.
